That’s right, jiaogulan is considered to be healthy for your
heart!
In addition to it’s adaptogenic properties, jiaogulan also
contains vitamins, magnesium, potassium, selenium, zinc and amino acids.
Like ginseng, jiaogulan contains saponins, and on an
increased level. One of the benefits of
this is that saponins offer cholesterol lowering qualities; and since cholesterol
health is directly related to heart health in many cases, this makes jiaogulan healthy
advantageous for the heart.
In addition to the presence of saponins, jiaogulan is able
to convert sugar into energy rather than storing them as fat. In a Japanese study consisting of thirty
participants, results concluded that eighty-five percent of the thirty people experienced
a reduction in bad, LDL cholesterol.
Reducing the amounts of LDL cholesterol is always a positive
step towards a healthy heart. But what
if you could help your heart even more by increasing the amount of oxygen and
helping it pump more powerfully? That is
just what a group of more than two hundred athletes experienced during a study
done in China. It was found that in
these athletes who consumed jiaogulan tea that their endurance was increased because
the “miracle herb” tea expands blood flow and helps the heart pump more
efficiently without increasing the heart rate or even blood pressure.
These heart healthy properties of jiaogulan tea help to
improve metabolism and regulate weight all the while balancing the body
overall. So here’s to jiaogulan tea!
